Surf's Up!!

This afternoon we took a drive down to Oceanside Pier. The surf is very high because of a storm out in the Pacific near Japan. There were a lot of people out with cameras taking photos. We walked along the pier watching the surfers catching the big waves. Then we walked to the end of the pier and had an early supper at Ruby's Diner.

We are now home watching TV and computing.

P.S. We realized soon after we got home that Michael had lost his Cocoon Slim Line Sunglasses . I called Ruby's and yes, they are there. We will be going back to the pier on Saturday morning to pick them. He loves them as they fit right over his glasses and don't look as if he has just had eye surgery.

  4. We visited Oceanside last year. It was gorgeous but lots of people all over. Ruby's Diner had a huge line. We had to wait forever to get a seat. However, we would certainly return because, after all, we were at the beach!
